Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source

connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).

1

Keep in mind you can't make a digital recording from an
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in
the same way (see

Connecting your equipment

on

page 11 for more on connections).

Since the video converter is not available when making
recordings (from the video

OUT

jacks) make sure to use

the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder
as you used to connect your video source (the one you
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must
connect your recorder using S-video if your source has
also been connected using S-video.

For more information about video connections, see

Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video
sources

on page 14.

1

Select the source you want to record.

Use the input source buttons (or

INPUT SELECT

).

• If necessary, press

SIGNAL SEL

(

SIGNAL SELECT

) to

select the input signal corresponding to the source
component (see

Choosing the input signal

on

page 29 for more on this).

2

Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

3

Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording
device and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if
you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set
the audio recording level automatically—check the
component's instruction manual if you're unsure.

4

Start recording, then start playback of the source

component.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find
the that the

OVER

indicator is lights often, or you can

hear distortion in the sound.

Press

RECEIVER

then press ANALOG ATT to switch

the input attenuator on or off.

Watching video and audio sources
independently

You can listen to a sound source and select a different
video source on your TV.

While listening to a source, press

RECEIVER

then

press VIDEO SEL (

VIDEO SELECT

) to select the video

source you want to watch.

Press repeatedly to cycle through the possible video
sources. You can select

DVD

,

TV

,

DVR1

,

DVR2

,

VIDEO

or

OFF

(no video signal).

Using the sleep timer

The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a
specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without
worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use
the remote control to set the sleep timer.

Note

1 • The receiver's volume, AV parameters, and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.
